When Biden&#8217;s presidency began with his exhortation that &#8220;democracy has prevailed,&#8221; few imagined it would end like this: being succeeded by a man who, Biden warned, &#8220;will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Joe Biden came into office, he said that he was going to defend democracy against autocracy,&#8221; said Atlantic staff writer Franklin Foer. &#8220;That was Job #1 for him. And everybody knew what he meant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Foer wrote a book about President Biden&#8217;s first two years in office, titled &#8220;The Last Politician.&#8221; What did he mean by that? &#8220;I was thinking about the way in which our politics is this war of attrition between these two sides that despise one another,&#8221; said Foer. \u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-left embed--size-small\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" alt=\"biden-b-1280.jpg \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/18\/5867b6b0-a413-4b78-b24c-7a955cb3d8e4\/thumbnail\/620x465\/6846d63bdbd5c6d1b9f02f0867ac6b43\/biden-b-1280.jpg?v=b37f0cace52a6645c18f53563f47da2c 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/18\/5867b6b0-a413-4b78-b24c-7a955cb3d8e4\/thumbnail\/1240x930\/e3964b2b4d05b4bf54a7b054d53bcfb4\/biden-b-1280.jpg?v=b37f0cace52a6645c18f53563f47da2c 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">President Joe Biden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Win McNamee\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In 2019 Biden said, &#8220;People are saying, &#8216;Biden just doesn&#8217;t get it.&#8217; &#8216;You can&#8217;t work with Republicans anymore.&#8217; &#8216;That&#8217;s not the way it works anymore.&#8217; Well, folks, I&#8217;m going to say something outrageous: I <em>know<\/em> how to make government work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Foer, &#8220;Biden had this very antiquated sense of how he could get things done. He felt like, in order to save American democracy, he needed to prove that this old-fashioned style of politics could still deliver important, meaningful, tangible things for the American people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, President Biden <em>did<\/em> deliver.

So, moving people and things is more important to us probably than any other state, and President Biden did just what he said he would do. I would almost call it a renaissance in American infrastructure. There&#8217;s all sorts of projects around our state.<\/p>\n<p>Most notably, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/construction-officially-begins-on-long-delayed-gateway-hudson-river-tunnel-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the $16 billion Gateway Tunnel Project<\/a><\/span>, which will expand the century-old tunnels under the Hudson River, and double train capacity between New York and New Jersey. It&#8217;s the largest project of its kind in U.S. history. <\/p>\n<p>In his farewell address to the nation Wednesday, Mr. Biden remarked, &#8220;It will take time to feel the full impact of all we&#8217;ve done together. But the seeds are planted, and they&#8217;ll grow, and they&#8217;ll bloom for decades to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Murphy said, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s a very successful presidency. I think history will treat him very, very well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And yet, Mr. Biden was embattled almost from the start, even despite his major milestone accomplishments. <\/p>\n<p>Why? &#8220;I think it&#8217;s a fair question to ask, is this fair?&#8221; said Murphy. &#8220;And frankly, I don&#8217;t think it is. But it is what it is. I mean, the numbers don&#8217;t lie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>President Biden&#8217;s approval ratings started out strong. But they sank six months in, after <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/state-department-afghanistan-report-withdrawal-after-action-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the deadly withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>His polling was pushed down further by <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/inflation-up-december-cpi-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">high inflation<\/a><\/span>, a record surge in <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/migrant-crossings-plunge-near-level-lift-biden-border-crackdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">illegal border crossings<\/a><\/span>, and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/biden-israel-gaza-poll-cbs-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">a war in Gaza<\/a><\/span> that <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mideast-conflict-has-some-democrats-in-michigan-turning-away-from-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">divided his party<\/a><\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>And then there were the persistent questions about his age that dogged him from the moment he took office.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he was aware that he was slowing down a little bit, Foer replied, &#8220;Anybody who had eyes could watch him walk across the stage and they could see that his gait was stiff. They could see that he shuffled like an old man. And so, he knew he was an old man as well, but I think that he probably overestimated his own political skills, because he&#8217;s come back from the dead all of these times.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Democratic leaders pressured Mr. Biden to leave the race after <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/after-debate-family-urges-him-stay-in-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">his disastrous debate performance last June<\/a><\/span>. With just three months to mount her own campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris lost the popular vote, and every swing state. Democrats also lost their majority in the Senate, meaning Republicans will now control the White House and both chambers of Congress, with the power to undo some of Mr. Biden&#8217;s work. <\/p>\n<p>And so, the man who launched his campaign with a warning about Donald Trump suddenly finds that his legacy is largely in Trump&#8217;s hands. <\/p>\n<p>Foer said, &#8220;He was going to prevent Donald Trump from ever returning to the White House. And now, at the end of his presidency, it&#8217;s clear by any measure that he failed at his #1 objective. Donald Trump is back.&#8221;<strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>For more info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>Story produced by Mark Hudspeth.
